2011 is well outside the Statute of Limitations for infringement...

That's three years with some wiggle room for ongoing infringement.

This is likely an intimidation/shakedown thing.

Sounds more like they’re going after Grande. Belief being the testimony would allow them to build a case that Grande incited or somehow induced privacy which would strip them from a number of legal protections that may apply to service providers.
